If you say you're not afraid of anything, I have some news for you: Humans are innately born with the fear of falling and loud noises. The fear of falling is a natural fear and is typical of most humans and mammals, in varying degrees of extremity. The fear of falling encompasses the anxieties accompanying the sensation and the possibly dangerous effects of falling.
People may be fearful of devices that can suddenly emit loud sounds, such as computer speakers or fire alarms. When operating a device such as a home theater system, computer, television, or CD player, they may wish to have the volume turned down all the way before doing anything that would cause the speakers to emit sound, so that once the command to produce sound is given, the user can raise the volume of the speakers to a comfortable listening level. They may avoid parades and carnivals due to the loud instruments such as drums. Other people also steer clear of any events in which firecrackers are to be let off.
Whatever other fears one may have are shaped or learned with experience.
